Chelsen & Dackery Cumberland Falls Wedding

Chelsen and Dackery were married May 31, 2008 at Cumberland Falls. While the skies threatened rain it held off and was a gorgeous sunny (traditionally humid) Kentucky Day. I have to give kudos to their Bridal Party… I think Chelsen had some of the most FABULOUS bridesmaids ever!! They were totally attentive and totally willing to do ANYTHING that she asked… even go trudging through murky water!!! My favorite part of the day? Getting wet up to my knees to capture those AMAZING water shots! Chelsen and Dackery were in wedding attire up to their knees also… what great sports… oh yeah.. that and the “His & Hers”… uhhhmmmm LOL (something only Chelsen and Dackery will be able to laugh at!) We wish Chelsen and Dackery all the best. It was our honor to be a part of your big day!!

Without further ado … Chelsen and Dackery Larkey.

Tammy & Elton

Tammy and Elton were married at her parent’s home in London on June 7, 2008.  It was a gorgeous (and HOT) day filled with emerald blue skies.  The day went swimmingly with Michele Landers coordinating.  We always LOVE working with Michele! =)

Tammy and Elton spent the day surrounded by gorgeous gardens and fabulous family /friends.  We truly enjoyed getting to know Tammy and Elton, and I am pretty sure that Tammy and I were separated at birth!!!  Congrats you two!!  This is just a sneak peek of the day!  Stay tuned for more wedding images and the slideshow!

Zach & Jennifer Urban Engagement

Zach and Jennifer are getting married in September and I cannot wait. They have a style that is just so modern and fun!! We, of course, have the privilege of photographing their wedding!!! YAY! We had a blast with these engagement pics and although we nearly melted it was so worth it. Totally cracked me up that I had been eyeballing this location to shoot in and independently Zach and Jennifer had “eye spy”ed it too!!!! Funny how you can be on the same wavelength with someone!

I mean how flipping awesome are these two???

Avery 1 year photos

I have had the privilege of photographing Miss Avery since BEFORE she was born!  How cool is that?  It seems unreal to me that she is a year old.  A few things that I have learned about Avery… she is the DEFINITION of “Daddy’s Girl” and she LOVES sweets!  She tore into that cake like there was no tomorrow!  Hey what girl doesn’t love a little cake??

As a little note to Avery:  May the days that lie ahead of you be filled with amazing experiences, immeasurable happiness, and pure joy!  The world is yours for the taking!  Happy Birthday Avery!

Tate Newborn Photos

We are happy to welcome to the SS&G Family an adorable little Prince Tate. It seems like just yesterday that we were shooting Leigh Ann and David’s Maternity Session… (oh wait… it WAS!) LOL These portraits were made in the comfort of their own home and Tate was an absolute doll sleeping through most of the session. I just love it when they are so tiny and squishy. It was definitely my privilege to work with Tate and his family.

Kim & Jeff

We will be photographing Kim & Jeff’s wedding on July 26th. I have actually known Kim since HIGH SCHOOL… which seems oh so long ago now… yikes. We are officially getting OLD I believe! It has been great to come back into contact with Kim and to meet and get to know Jeff. I know that these two are just beginning a beautiful life together and we are excited to be a part of their big day!

Keith & Ashley Wedding Photos Centenary Methodist and Embassy Suites Lexington

Keith and Ashley were married on May 17, 2008 at Centenary United Methodist Church and their reception followed at the Embassy Suites on Newtown Pike. I have known Ashley for several years and was MORE than flattered when she and Keith decided to have us photograph their big day. Keith and Ashley are two very special people. I have NEVER seen a couple who have so much FUN together. Ashley has a smile that is just infectious there is no start or end to it… it just erupts into ear to ear grinning and giggling and you can just tell when she looks at Keith that there is no one else on earth who could possibly be any more perfect for her. Keith is an absolute doll! I told Troy after I photographed their engagement almost a year ago that Ashley had definitely met her perfect match. They definitely “complete” each other. I knew going into their wedding day that there would be NO super serious images to be had at this wedding. I don’t honestly know that I have ever seen a bride so giddy happy and excited to walk down that aisle. Their day was a blast filled with a few tears, much love and more laughter than I will ever be able to forget. Keith and Ashley… thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day. Thank you for showing us the meaning of “Live, Laugh, Love”….

We wish you all the best as you begin your life as a married couple! ~Troy and Amber

What happens when a ballerina gets married?

No its NOT a riddle!!! The following is a REAL Live Youtube video created by Whitney Cvengros at the Wedding of Keith Rickman and Ashley Ledbetter. You can take the girl away from the dance but you can NEVER take the DANCE out of the girl!! You may have seen a sneak peek of their photos here: http://www.kentuckystudio.com/2008/05/25/ashley-keith-centenary-methodist-embassy-suites/

And their full wedding slideshow and galleries are coming SOON - like in the next WEEK!! But for now we thought we would share a little of the dance stylings and wholesome entertainment that happened at the Reception. This is the dance that was of course choreographed by Ashley and performed by Ashley, her brothers & Keith! Move over Judson LaipplyThe Evolution of Dance has NOTHING on these 5!!!

Enjoy and be sure to pass it around to all your friends. We have seen all the “first dance” videos that have been posted and MADE HEADLINES… THIS should be one of them! So start making those comments and calling the Today show!

Beth & Brian’s Wedding Macedonia Christian & Keeneland

Beth and Brian were married on May 10, 2008 at the Macedonia Christian Church in Lexington. Their reception followed at the Keene Barn Entertainment Center on the gorgeous property of Keeneland. It was our first time photographing a wedding party there and WOW. The day was gorgeous with bright blue cloudless skies and a crisp cool breeze. Beth wore a gorgeous antique lace gown and her bridemaids donned fabulous COACH shoes. (We LOVED those btw!!) It was a high energy day filled with many laughs and tons of love. Beth and Brian celebrated late into the night surrounded by their family and friends. It was our privilege to be a part of their special day.

Congratulations Beth and Brian.
